Garlic Coconut Flour Bagels – Gluten Free
Toasted Low Carb Garlic Coconut Flour Bagel
It’s been over a week since I’ve posted on the blog. The main reason is that I just haven’t been eating much food while working towards a weight loss goal. I am happy to say that I exceeded my goal. I managed to lose an average of two pounds a week by making a drastic cut in calories and exercising thirty minutes a day. Now that I am down to where I want to be, I’m slowing adding more calories to enter into maintenance. I could stand to lose a couple more pounds, but anything more than that could be too much too fast.
Gluten Free Mock Bagels made with Coconut Flour
I have had a serious craving for bread lately. There’s a guy at work who is always toasting a bagel in the toaster by my desk each morning. While I was downing my morning low carb protein bar or shake, all I could think of was sinking my teeth into a warm buttered garlic bagel. Now that I’m back to eating more, I thought I’d try a simple coconut bread recipe in a donut pan in order to make “mock” bagels. I was really surprised at how well these came out since it was a cinch to throw these together on the spur of moment. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I particularly like them toasted. The butter in the batter gives them a nice buttery taste so you won’t have to add any additional butter or cream cheese.
Baked Coconut Flour Garlic Flavored Bagels
⅓ cups butter, melted
½ cup sifted coconut flour
2 teaspoons guar or xanthan gum, optional
6 eggs
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
Blend together eggs, butter, salt, and garlic powder. Combine coconut flour with baking powder and guar or xanthan gum (if using). Whisk coconut flour mixture into batter until there are no lumps. Spoon into a greased donut pan. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes.

This looks great! Thank you for bringing this tasty treat this week!
This is by far the best recipe yet that I have come across that has a mouth-feel of regular bread/bagel! I am definitely bookmarking this recipe!!!
Cheers,
These look sooo delicious and I can’t wait to try them. Any ideas as to what can I use instead of a donut pan – don’t have one and even if I did it wouldn’t fit in my little counter top oven – no big oven at this time
. Thanks!
The batter is really thick so you could just drop them like biscuits onto a baking sheet. If you flatten them out in little circles, they could be like English muffins. Or, try shaping them into bagel rings on a baking sheet. These ideas would be worth a try if you don’t have room for another baking pan.
Saw this just yesterrday — had all ingredients including the donut pan in the house – made them this am — ok so it is not a chewy New York bagel -but boy was it good — might forget the garlic next time and use some Waldon Farms organge “marmalade” as spread on top
thanks — really enjoyed!
I think I may skip the garlic next time too and add a little flax or oat fiber to do a more “whole grain” type bagel.
Not to bad. I will also leave the garlic out and mix in fiber too.
Must say that I tried this as pizza bottom, added some Italian spices and the garlic powder and spread out on silicon mat on cookie sheet. pre-bake and then top with fav. toppings. My whole family loves it!!!!
Asa- Thanks for sharing the idea of turning this into pizza crust. I will most definitely give that a try.
I like these a lot! I made them earlier today, and with some leftover meatloaf, had a meatloaf sandwich for dinner — very good!
You may have just answered my prayers! I have to watch my carbs (doctor’s orders) and haven’t had bread in months. It’s starting to get to me when my co-workers toast anything at work. It smells soooo good. These bagels look fab. I can’t wait to try them!
I really enjoyed these bagels. They make a good substitute and should be able to get you through the cravings at work.
